All of our style guides, including the new editions of APA and MLA, are now found all together on a shelf directly across from the Reference Desk in Crumb. We’ve also updated the information in our “How to cite sources” page (found under “Get Help” on our homepage) to reflect this move and the major changes in APA and MLA style.

Come join us in the Crumb Library lobby for the the Spring 2010 Bregman Book Discussion Series. The discussions run on Tuesdays from 4:00-5:30pm. We hope to see you there!
